Manohar said- I had come to kill myself
It is being told that Megha had a love marriage with Manohar Kumar Jha, a resident of Sukhsena village of the eastern district, 10 years ago. However, both of them separated a few days after the marriage. During interrogation with the police, Manohar said that there was a dispute going on between us. My family did not accept this relationship because of her different caste. I came to my wife after two years with the intention of talking to her. I had a weapon in my hand, if I had to kill her, I would have killed her the moment she was held hostage. Manohar said that I had come to kill myself. I had come to talk to Megha and her mother. They were not talking. I want to keep Megha with me. Our relationship has been for 10 years. I tried a lot to convince the girl and her family. But no one listened.
